I believe I used Mobil 1 75-90. I have the bottle at home. I'll try and look this evening when I get home.

Those are both good choices, as long as it has a GL5 rating.

was using 75 / 90
Then I started using the Lucas 85 / 140. Runs much quieter with the 85 /140 JMO

I use Royal Purple 75w-140. Change it out every other time I change my oil and filter.
